In one word: Excellence. In three words: Excellence and quality. Impressive voice, impressive woman, excellent vocals (and a mouthdropping video clip). I have the feeling though, that the singer is more than the song in itself. A catchy electropop with a soul direction due to the great voice and the obvious passion of Destiny. It is a song for top 8, but I am not sure I would be happy to see it on number one. Definitely, better than the Mamas (their song is another sterilised transactional Swedish entry - it feels like kidney operation, not like expression of emotion). Malta combines a great voice with a more mainstream sound, and they do it perfectly.
Honestly I REALLY love this song. This is the way I want powerhouse songs to be, and Maltese singers always deliver those vocals. This is everything I wanted Move to be and I absolutely love this. I know some folks aren't big on this style but this is my top 5 immediately. I've been quite disappointed the past few days with the songs coming out but this has saved the week. I'm so happy!
Thanks for your reactions, love you.

Lovely song in many ways and I don´t think that Malta has won the contest before so GO Malta! :)
Comparisons with Sweden are inevitable. But while in Sweden's case I feel I like the Mamas more than the actual song, in Malta's case I really like the song - liking Destiny is just the cherry on top 😁. Good work, Malta!
I have had a strong sense since hearing this morning that this song will win, and this reaction only reinforced that for me.
It's amazing
It sounds like a Rudimental track. :)
Cool
OMG There are other Eurovision fans in Shanghai?😂 Love your reviews
Great reaction as usual, Tom. But where is Croatia/Georgia/Cyprus videos? 😭😂

omg im dying here. so many freaking videos dumped on us at once. Croatia is filmed and sitting in my Imovie waiting to be edited. Cyprus I havent even watched yet! its the only one i havent heard Georgia - I fucked up. I didnt know the context of the lyrics and it messed up the video. Need to refilm the end cos the video doesnt make sense.
Destiny just has a soft spot in my heart (probably my most memorable Junior Eurovision winner ever), so I really hope she does well ❤️ the song is excellent, as I expected (all 3 Borislav Milanov songs are in my top 4 this year ahahah), Malta quickly becoming one of my Eurovision favourites

I'm just in awe how you manage to come up with such elaborate first thoughts. I would stink at this, after hearing a song once I can just say "yeah... I guess I like it " (or not). Well for me this is the weakest of Borislav's three songs this year. That doesn't mean it's a bad song, it's definitely in the top half this year. I don't think it will make my top 10 though. I just don't feel that much in this song, it feels more flat than the songs of Bulgaria and Germany. I liked Chameleon better as well; I agree that the live staging there should have been better. Destiny is really great and looks fab too. So a great song for Malta, but yeah it's not in my top 10.

Lewi haha If you watch some of my first videos from last year - you’ll realise it’s something I’ve gotten better at with more practice. It’s easy with songs like this Cos loads of stuff comes in your head. It’s tough when people send really bland entries and there’s nothing to say about them Cos nothing really is happening 😑. Yea now I’ve heard the song more, it’s my third BM. I’m still quite happy though Cos I really wasn’t expecting to like destiny’s song at all, and I like this. So it feels like a bonus. Plus I’m hoping they can get the visuals right this year. Last year it looked like vogue did the music video and then one of the interns did the stage performance.

Ok. You should take back your comment that he kept the best song for Bulgaria and the others are worse. I think Boris is talented enough to write the right song for the artist to suit their voice. All 3 of his songs are in my top-10.

@@ESCTom Fair enough. Germany's is my favorite because of genre preference but I could see Bulgaria winning the whole thing if people aren't stuck on the Billy Eillish comparison. BTW in terms of Malta's video work, Christabelle "Taboo" was like a mini-movie - amazing. Too bad the song wasn't. But the video was to me the most interesting of 2018.

Bulgaria has a permanent spot in my heart, but I think this one will bring Malta the win.
Winner 2020
Yeah this pretty much has to be the best contemporary pop song at Eurovision. I'm not too fond of it, it lacks originality and I'm a sucker for those gorgeous ballads instead of radio-friendly shit I get force-fed every day anyway, but I can't possibly be against it doing well. I love how this basically kills Sweden, was very disappointed about Dotter getting shafted.
I won’t be dazzled by the video because I remember Walk on Water had a good video too but the staging was completely different. Regarding the song, it did not wow me like Germany or Bulgaria. Boris was one of six song writers so maybe his influence was watered down. Still it’s a great song & it may be a grower for me. Boris should win with one of his songs. Good luck to Malta.

At least I got rid of that feeling that 2020 is a weak year. Everything changed over the past 10-14 days and the competition is wide open. There is no clear favourite like Netta or Duncan Lawrence I feel. As for Malta it’s one hell of a grower. First listen I was like hmmmm, then it was wow! People seem to love it but I am not getting my hopes high for the televoting as we always get spectacularly penalized usually.

Duncan Laurence wasn't a clear favourite. Soldi was just as much a favourite and I know it won't please Tom, Scream had a big following too, whereas everyone loved Norway. So, no, there certainly wasn't a clear favourite last year 🙂

omg yes i saw. I was SO annoyed because id already planned to do Azerbaijan. Ive been waiting for her revamp for fecking ages. Its top of my to do list and there should be no more suprise releases now
I find this.... pretty damn good.
It's a solid entry but I'm not a big fan of the song. IMO when you have a 17 year old performer you should emphasize the fact that she is young and fresh , not make her look 10 years older in the music video.
Ohh so that's what happened to the 4th member of the Mamas..

Ok.. Now what do i say??? Shit, let's just be honest here John.... NOT for me im afraid... Yes, a "feast for the eyes" but unfortunately, not for MY ears!. Sorry Tom, Destiny is beautiful and her voice will be, undoubtedly, one of the best on show in Rotterdam but the composition just doesn't cut it for me.. This is, imo, the least impressive of BM's 3 efforts this year and i feel, in an ultra-competitive semifinal 1, this may be the shock NQ...... i can't help but remember Amber failing to qualify with what i thought was a nailed on finalist.... I understand that I'm going to be in a minority here but c'est la vie...😥

lol you dont need to apologise, I want to hear different opinions so that I have a better idea what is actually going on, especially with prediction vids coming up soon. Im keen to stay away from the odds before i do my semi predictions this year cos they skewed me SO much last year. You might need to apologise though for comparing this to Amber, that song was sooooooo basic. If she was 1st half of the semi, Id be more inclined to agree about a shock non QF but shes 2nd half and thatll bump her chances a lot. Also have you seen this years merch is out - I really like some of the t shirts. the merch last year was FUGLY
